Lorie Muellenbach

Lorie Muellenbach is a psychologist who offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, anger, and ADHD. She works with teens, adults, and older adults to build coping skills and find clearer direction.

She favors a warm, supportive style that mixes emotional support with hands-on problem solving. Sessions aim to slow things down, make worries easier to manage, and set simple goals for change. She helps people rebuild confidence and resilience after major life changes or loss.

Lorie has nine years of experience and holds credentials as a California Psychologist and an Arizona Psychologist. She has often worked with neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and learning differences, and she brings that experience to topics like emotional regulation and daily routines.

Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric issues, attachment and caregiver stress, autism and Asperger syndrome, family of origin topics, and intellectual disability. She also supports people facing mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose.

In sessions she listens, helps sort priorities, and offers concrete strategies you can try between meetings. The pace and tools are shaped by each person’s needs. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many of Lorie’s techniques focus on clear, practical skills you can use right away. One common approach she uses teaches emotion regulation and coping skills step by step so stressful moments feel more manageable; this helps with anxiety, anger, and ADHD-related impulsivity. Another approach emphasizes building routines and problem solving for daily life, which supports parenting, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to neurodiversity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and which techniques feel most helpful, then adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps sessions collaborative and responsive to changing needs.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use tools and worksheets during the session and try strategies in daily life between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these evidence-based techniques to work effectively in virtual care when the approach matches the client’s goals.
